My good friend Mark Pritchard has many names by which he does choonage. One is Harmonic 313, from which this crew danced beautifully.. Enjoy.

Here is a cover idea for solo project The Willow album. I took it with the iPhone, then worked it a bit in PS4. The best thing about it for me is that the shot is upside down - yet only looks it so after a while, such was the fine weather on the river that day…

The KUMO remix of the Custom Blue track “Autumn Flight”.

A lovely remix which follows the original in terms of length and timing, however is far different. Where the original is acoustic, this is modular, with theramins thrown in for good measure.

You can hear more of KUMO at the excellent METAMONO place here

From the forthcoming Lauren Pritchard EP “Painkillers” here is a bonus dub from Flotilla - sad sun drenched roots, with Lauren’s vocal flying about with a Perry-like fervour. 

Yes. This is good.
